Glen Burnie, Maryland 21061

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

May 8, 2025

GENERAL

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (“Board of Directors” or “Board”) of Glen Burnie Bancorp (the “Company”) to be used at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company and any adjournments or postponements thereof (hereinafter called the “Annual Meeting”) which will be held in person at The Bank of Glen Burnie, 101 Crain Highway, SE, Glen Burnie, Maryland for shareholders, on Thursday, May 8, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

The accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and form of proxy and this Proxy Statement are being first mailed to stockholders on or about April 17, 2025.

VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

Proxies solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company will be voted in accordance with the directions given therein. Where no instructions are given, signed proxies will be voted for the nominees named below, for the proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to accept the selection of the Audit Committee of an outside auditing firm for the 2025 fiscal year, for the approval of the compensation of the named executive officers, and for a submission of approval of executive compensation to stockholders every three years. The proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein to vote with respect to the election of any person as a director where the nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, and with respect to matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting. If any other business is presented at the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted by those named therein in accordance with the determination of a majority of the Board of Directors. Proxies marked as abstentions will not be counted as votes cast. In addition, shares held in street name which have been designated by brokers on proxy cards as not voted will not be counted as votes cast. Proxies marked as abstentions or as broker no votes, however, will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Stockholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them at any time prior to being voted. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting and all adjournments thereof. Proxies may be revoked by written notice to Michelle Stambaugh, the Secretary of the Company, at the address above or by the filing of a later dated proxy prior to a vote being taken on a particular proposal at the Annual Meeting. A proxy will not be voted if a stockholder attends the Annual Meeting and votes in person. The presence of a stockholder at the Annual Meeting will not revoke such stockholder’s proxy.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The securities entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting consist of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”). Stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 20, 2025 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to one vote for each share then held. At the Record Date, the Company had 2,900,681 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote will be necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Persons and groups beneficially owning in excess of 5% of the Common Stock are required to file certain reports with respect to such ownership pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The following table sets forth, as of the Record Date, certain information as to the Common Stock beneficially owned by all persons who were known to the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the Common Stock outstanding at the Record Date.

Name and Address of Beneficial Owner	Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership¹	Percent of Shares of Common Stock Outstanding
John E. Demyan	285,216²		9.83%
101 Crain Highway, S.E.
Glen Burnie, Maryland 21061

¹Rounded to the nearest whole share. For purposes of this table, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock if he or she has or shares voting or investment power with respect to such Common Stock or has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days from the Record Date. As used herein, “voting power” is the power to vote or direct the voting of shares and “investment power” is the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Except as otherwise noted, ownership is direct, and the named individuals or group exercise sole voting and investment power over the shares of the Common Stock.

²Includes 284,216 shares held by Mr. Demyan individually and 1,000 shares held by Mrs. Demyan.

PROPOSAL I -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors currently consists of 11 directors’ positions, none of which are currently vacant.

Under Maryland law, directors are elected by a plurality of all votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

Unless contrary instruction is given, the persons named in the proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will vote each such proxy for the election of the named nominees. If any of the nominees is unable to serve, the shares represented by all properly executed proxies which have not been revoked will be voted for the election of such substitute as the Board may recommend or the Board may reduce the size of the Board to eliminate the vacancy. At this time, the Board does not anticipate that any nominee will be unable to serve.

The following table sets forth, for each nominee and each continuing director, his or her name, age as of the Record Date, the year he or she first became a director of the Company, the expiration of his or her current term, and whether such individual has been determined by the Board to be “independent” as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. Each nominee and continuing director are also a member of the Board of Directors of The Bank of Glen Burnie (the “Bank”) and GBB Property Holdings, LLC, and GBB Properties, Inc. (“GBB Properties”).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board of Directors periodically reviews its corporate governance policies and procedures to ensure that the Company meets the highest standards of ethical conduct, report results with accuracy and transparency, and maintains full compliance with the laws, rules and regulations which govern the Company’s operations.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Board of Directors. The Board of Directors holds regular monthly meetings and special meetings as needed. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Board met 12 times. There were no incumbent directors who attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during 2024 and the total number of meetings held by all committees on which she/he served during such year. Board members are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and all incumbent directors serving at that time attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board has numerous committees, each of which meets at scheduled times, including the following committees:

Audit Committee. The Bank’s Audit Committee acts as the audit committee for the Company and for 2024 through the date of the Annual Meeting consists of Directors Julie Mussog, Thomas Clocker, Frederick W. Kuethe III and Andrew Cooch. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Audit Committee met 14 times.

The Audit Committee monitors internal accounting controls, meets with the Bank’s Internal Auditor to review internal audit findings, recommends independent auditors for appointment by the Board, and meets with the Company’s independent auditors regarding these internal controls to assure full disclosure of the Company’s financial condition. Each member of the Audit Committee is independent, as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules and under the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Exchange Act, and otherwise meets the criteria for Audit Committee membership set forth in applicable NASDAQ rules. In addition, each member of the Audit Committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. The Board of Directors has examined the SEC’s definition of “audit committee financial expert” and determined that Julie Mussog satisfies this definition. Accordingly, Mrs. Mussog has been designated by the Board of Directors as the Company’s audit committee financial expert.

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee and is available on the Bank’s website, www.thebankofglenburnie.com.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Committee. The Bank’s Employee Compensation and Benefits Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) acts as the compensation committee for the Company, and for 2024 through the date of the Annual Meeting is composed of Directors Joan Rumenap, Thomas Clocker, Julie Mussog, Frederick W. Kuethe, III., Mary Louise Wilcox, Andrew Cooch, Stanford Hess, Joseph Baldwin, and Felton Magee, Jr. This Committee met three times during 2024. The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to evaluate and ascertain the appropriateness of compensation levels pertaining to the officers of the Bank other than the CEO and the other executive officers of the Bank. The compensation levels of all executive officers, other than the CEO, are recommended by the CEO for deliberation and approval of the Committee prior to submission to the full Board. The compensation levels of the CEO and the other executive officers of the Bank are reviewed by the full Board of Directors and must be approved by a majority of the independent directors. No executive officer is present during deliberations or voting on his/her compensation. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee, which is available on the Bank’s website, www.thebankofglenburnie.com.

During 2024, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of ChaseCompGroup as its independent advisor on matters of executive and board compensation, reporting directly to the Compensation Committee. ChaseCompGroup provides no other remunerated services to the Company or any of its affiliates.

Nominations. The independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors act as a nominating committee for the annual selection of its nominees for election as directors, and the Board held two meetings during 2024. The Board has not adopted a charter with respect to the nominating committee function. The Board of Directors believes that the interests of the Company’s shareholders are served by delegating the nominations process to the board members who are independent from management. While the Board of Directors will consider nominees recommended by stockholders, it has not actively solicited recommendations from the Company’s stockholders for nominees, nor established any procedures for this purpose. In considering prospective nominees, the Board of Directors will consider the prospect’s relevant financial and business experience, familiarity with and participation in the Bank’s market area, the integrity and dedication of the prospect, prospective nominee’s independence and other factors the Board deems relevant. The Board of Directors will apply the same criteria to nominees recommended by stockholders as those recommended by the nominating committee. Nominations by stockholders must comply with certain informational requirements set forth in Article III, Section 1 of the Company’s Bylaws. See “Stockholder Proposals” elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

Director Compensation

Director’s Fees. Currently, directors are paid a fee of $1,250 for each combined regular or special meeting of the Company and the Bank attended, with fees paid for one excused absence. Mr. Demyan was compensated at the rate of $77,064 per annum for the additional responsibilities of serving as the Chair of the Board of Directors. Directors (other than Mr. Demyan and Mr. Hanna who receive no fees for board or committee meetings) are paid an additional $300 chair fee, an additional $350 for the Audit Committee chair and $250 for audit committee members, or $200 member fee, as applicable, for each committee meeting.

Transactions with Management

Certain directors, executive officers and significant stockholders of the Company, and members of their immediate families, were depositors, borrowers or customers of the Bank in the ordinary course of business during 2024. Similar transactions are expected to occur in the future. All such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business of the Bank and on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collection or present other unfavorable terms.

The Bank’s Internal Audit Department reviews all loan transactions with directors, officers and employees of the Bank and members of their immediate families to verify that they are fair and reasonable, on market terms, on an arms-length basis and comply with all applicable regulations including Federal Reserve Board Regulation O which governs such loans. The Internal Audit Department also provides the Board of Directors with semi-annual reports of all loans outstanding to employees, officers, and directors which reports are reviewed by the entire Board at a regularly scheduled meeting.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is designed to promote the highest standards of ethical conduct by the Company’s and the Bank’s directors, executive officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been posted on the Bank’s website, www.thebankofglenburnie.com.

Communications with the Board

The Board of Directors has not established a formal process for stockholders to send communications to the Board. Due to the infrequency of stockholder communications with the Board, the Board does not believe that a formal process is necessary. Furthermore, almost all the Company’s Board members are residents of or work in the communities served by the Bank and where most of the Company’s stockholders reside, and therefore are accessible to the great majority of the Company’s stockholders.

Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

While the Board believes that there are various structures which can provide successful leadership to the Company, we currently have separate individuals serving in the roles of Chair of the Board and CEO in recognition of the differences between the two roles.

The CEO is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day-to-day leadership of the Company, while the Chair of the Board provides guidance to the CEO and presides over meetings of the full Board. This structure is appropriate at this time to the Company’s business because it reflects the Company and industry experience and vision brought to the Board of Directors by the Chair, and the day-to-day management direction of the Company under the CEO.

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. To do this, the Chair of the Board meets regularly with management to discuss strategy and the risks facing the Company. Senior management attends the Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management and any other matters. The Chair of the Board and independent members of the Board work together to provide strong, independent oversight of the Company's management and affairs through its standing committees and, when necessary, special meetings of independent directors.

Board Diversity

Although the Company does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, the Board and the Governance Committee believe it is essential that the Board members represent diverse viewpoints and skill sets (such as gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, national origin and education as well as professional experience). Each nominee’s/Director’s diverse knowledge of risk management and internal controls, credentials, competencies and skills as well as the candidate’s area(s) of qualifications and expertise that would enhance the Board’s composition and effectiveness are considered. As a bank holding company, it is important that the Directors have specific knowledge of the communities that the Bank serves as a community bank.

³Includes 38,036 shares as to which Mr. Kuethe shares voting and investment power and 867 shares held by Mrs. Kuethe.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Company’s officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of the outstanding Common Stock (“Reporting Person”) are required to file reports detailing their ownership and changes of ownership in such Common Stock, and to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports. Based on the Company’s review of such reports which the Company received during the last fiscal year, or written representations from Reporting Persons, the Company believes that all such reports were filed in a timely manner except for one report of change in beneficial ownership reporting the acquisition of 4,012 shares of Common Stock by Mr. Baldwin was filed inadvertently late.

Change in Control Severance Plan

The Company and the Bank maintain a Change in Control Severance Plan (the “Plan”). All employees, including the named executive officers, and Board members of the Company, the Bank and affiliates of the Company or Bank who, on the date of a change in control, are not parties to an employment agreement or change in control severance agreement with the applicable employer, are eligible to participate in the Plan. A “change in control” is defined as any one of the following events: (i) the acquisition of ownership, holding or power to vote more than 25% of the Company’s voting stock, (ii) the acquisition of the ability to control the election of a majority of the Bank’s or the Company’s directors, (iii) the acquisition of a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Bank or the Company by any person or by persons acting as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iv) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the board of directors of the Bank or the Company (excluding individuals whose election or nomination for election as a member of the existing board was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the continuing directors then in office) cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds thereof.

Under the terms of the Plan, in the event the individual voluntarily terminates his/her employment within two years following a change in control, or in the event the individual’s employment is terminated by the Bank (or its successor) for any reason, other than cause, within two years following a change in control, the individual is entitled to receive the benefits specified in the Plan based on the individual’s position with the employer and, in some instances, years of service on the date of the change in control. The payment will be made either in a lump sum or in installments, at the option of the individual. Under the Plan, upon a change in control, Mr. Hanna would receive an amount equal to the aggregate present value of 2.99 times his average annual taxable compensation from the Company for the prior five complete years, Mr. Harris would receive an amount equal to 130 weeks of his gross weekly salary as of the date of termination. In addition, Mr. Harris would receive $10,000 toward the premiums for his COBRA medical insurance coverage following the termination of employment if he elected to receive COBRA benefits. Mr. Harris’ cash payment and COBRA benefits may not exceed 2.99 times his average annual taxable compensation from the Company for the prior five complete years.

If change in control payments were triggered today, the named executive officers would receive the following amounts: Mr. Hanna, $474,720; and Mr. Harris, $484,722. Since the termination of his relationship with the Company on January 10, 2025, Mr. Hines is no longer eligible for a change in control payment.

(1)

The amounts reported in column (b) and (c) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mark C. Hanna, our President and Chief Executive Officer (our PEO) from and after October 2023 and the amounts reported in column (d) and (e) are the amounts of total compensation reported for John D. Long, our President and Chief Executive Officer (our PEO) through October 2023, in each case for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

(2)

The amounts reported in column (f) represent the average of the amounts reported for our named executive officers as a group (excluding our President and CEO) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year.

(3)

“Total Shareholder Return” represents our cumulative total stockholder return during each measurement period and is calculated by dividing the sum of (i) the difference between the share price of our common stock at the end and the beginning of the measurement period, plus (ii) the cumulative amount of dividends paid on our common stock for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, by the share price of our common stock at the beginning of the measurement period. Each amount assumes that $100 was invested in our common stock on December 31, of the preceding measurement period, and dividends were reinvested for additional shares.

(4)

The amounts reported represent the amount of net income (in thousands) reflected in our audited consolidated financial statements for the applicable year.

The Company’s compensation program for each of its named executive officers consists of the following elements:

Base Salary. The salaries of our named executive officers are designed to provide a reasonable level of compensation that is affordable to the Company and fair to the executive. Base salaries are contractual and are reviewed annually; base salary increases, if any, are made based on the review of competitive salaries, as well as an evaluation of the individual officer’s responsibilities, job scope, and performance.

Discretionary Bonus. The Compensation Committee may recommend to the Board that annual bonuses be paid based on accomplishments that exceed expectations during the fiscal year. These bonuses are totally discretionary as to who will receive a bonus and the amount of any such bonus.

The Company believes that the salaries paid to its named executive officers are consistent with market rates, and the Company does not provide for equity-based compensation. The Compensation Committee bases its annual bonus considerations on each individual’s performance within the executive’s sphere of responsibilities, and on the Company’s overall performance as measured by net income. While total shareholder return factors into Compensation Committee discussions, annual bonus considerations are not tied to shareholder return.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

All employees, including the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan at levels determined by the Bank’s human resources department and commensurate with each employee’s salary level. The Board believes that by making shares of the Company’s stock available to employees at a discounted price, employees become vested in the successful financial performance of the Bank and the Company.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the annual audited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary.

The Audit Committee has discussed with UHY, LLP, the independent auditors for the Company for 2024, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301, Communications with the Audit Committee issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, as adopted by the PCAOB and has discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditors’ independence.

The Audit Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by Auditing Standard 1301: Communication with Audit Committees promulgated by the PCAOB.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2024 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL II -- AUTHORIZATION FOR APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

Selection of Auditors

UHY LLP, Certified Public Accountants (“UHY”) was the Company’s independent auditing firm for the 2024 fiscal year. A representative of UHY is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to questions from stockholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to ratify the Board of Directors’ authorization to accept the selection of the Audit Committee of UHY as the Company’s outside auditing firm for the ensuing year.

Disclosure of Independent Auditor Fees

The following is a description of the fees billed to the Company by UHY during the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023:

Audit Fees. Audit fees include fees paid by the Company to UHY in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and review of the Company’s quarterly interim financial statements. Audit fees also include fees for services performed by UHY that are closely related to the audit and in many cases could only be provided by our independent auditors. Such services include consents related to SEC and other regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed to the Company by UHY for audit services rendered to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaled $119,585 and $90,444, respectively.

Audit Related Fees. Audit related services include accounting consultations and employee benefit plan audits. The aggregate fees billed to the Company by UHY for audit related services rendered to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 totaled $16,250 and $7,400, respectively.

All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed to the Company by UHY for all other services rendered to the Company for matters such as services in connection with annual and special meetings of stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaled $11,154 and $12,382, respectively.

Approval of Independent Auditor Services and Fees

The Company’s Audit Committee reviews all fees charged by the Company’s independent auditors, and actively monitors the relationship between audit and non-audit services provided. The Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent auditors and fees charged.

PROPOSAL III – ADVISORY VOTE ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act requires that the Company seek an advisory, non-binding shareholder vote on the compensation of its named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. The Company’s stockholders previously approved a frequency of every three years for submission of vote on compensation to the stockholders, and the stockholders last voted on executive compensation at the 2022 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the Company is now, again, providing its stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory, nonbinding vote on the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement.

This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives the Company’s stockholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the Company’s executive pay program and policies through the following resolution:

“Resolved, that the stockholders approve the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the compensation tables and related material in the Proxy Statement distributed in connection with this Meeting.”

The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the Company’s compensation policies and procedures align with the long-term success of the Company and the interests of the stockholders.

Because the vote on this Proposal is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board not to create or imply any additional fiduciary duty by the Board. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board will consider the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

This matter will be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of all of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is needed to approve the proposal. Consequently, abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to shares otherwise present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy will have no effect on the result of the vote although they will be considered present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the compensation of the named executive officers.

PROPOSAL IV -- ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF HOLDING FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act also requires that, every six years, the Company seek an advisory, non-binding stockholder vote on whether stockholders would prefer “say-on-pay” advisory votes of the type described in Proposal III every year, every two years, or every three years. As stated above, the stockholders previously voted for a frequency of every three years which the Board has adopted. Stockholders are now being provided another opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the frequency of the “say-on-pay” advisory vote. Stockholders will be afforded the next opportunity to vote on the frequency of the “say-on-pay” advisory vote in 2031. The voting instructions allow stockholders to choose the desired frequency.

This proposal, sometimes referred to as a “say-on-frequency” proposal, is the stockholders’ expression of how often they would like to be consulted for the non-binding vote on executive compensation. Stockholders will have the opportunity to vote for the following options for this proposal: one year, two years, three years, or abstain.

As with Proposal III, your vote is advisory, and it will not be binding on the Company. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board will consider the outcome of the vote when considering the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation.

The Board and the Compensation Committee value the input of stockholders on the Company’s compensation practices. However, they also believe that a three-year cycle would give shareholders, management, and the Compensation Committee time to evaluate the effectiveness of executive compensation on long-term company performance. A three-year cycle would also provide the Committee with sufficient time to thoughtfully respond to stockholders’ input, and to implement any appropriate changes to our executive compensation program and to evaluate the results of such changes before the next stockholder advisory vote. Therefore, after careful consideration, the Board and Compensation Committee believe that a three-year review of executive officer compensation is in the best interest of the stockholders and the Company.

On this Proposal, Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation; rather Stockholders are requested to select a one-year, two-year, or three-year frequency. The option that receives the highest number of votes cast by Stockholders will be deemed the preferred frequency for the advisory vote on the approval of compensation for the named executive officers. Consequently, abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to shares otherwise present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy will have no effect on the result of the vote.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation once every three years.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors is not aware of any business to come before the Annual Meeting other than those matters described above in this proxy statement and matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters should properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that proxies in the accompanying form will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the determination of a majority of the named proxies.

MISCELLANEOUS

The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy materials to the beneficial owners of Common Stock. In addition to solicitations by mail, directors, officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telegraph or telephone without additional compensation, therefore.

The Company’s 2024 Annual Report to Stockholders, including financial statements, has been mailed to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date with this Proxy Statement. Any stockholder who has not received a copy of such Annual Report may obtain a copy by writing to the Secretary of the Company. Such Annual Report is not to be treated as a part of the proxy solicitation material or as having been incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be furnished without charge to stockholders as of the Record Date upon written request to Chief Financial Officer, Glen Burnie Bancorp, 101 Crain Highway, S.E., Glen Burnie, Maryland 21061.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Any stockholder desiring to present a proposal at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and wishing to have that proposal included in the proxy statement for that meeting must submit the same in writing to the Secretary of the Company at 101 Crain Highway, S.E., Glen Burnie, Maryland 21061, in time to be received by December 7, 2025. The persons designated by the Company to vote proxies given by stockholders in connection with the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will not exercise any discretionary voting authority granted in such proxies on any matter not disclosed in the Company’s 2026 proxy statement with respect to which the Company has received written notice no later than February 20, 2026 that a stockholder (i) intends to present such matter at the 2026 Annual Meeting, and (ii) intends to and does distribute a proxy statement and proxy card to holders of such percentage of the shares of Common Stock required to approve the matter. If a stockholder fails to provide evidence that the necessary steps have been taken to complete a proxy solicitation on such matter, the Company may exercise its discretionary voting authority if it discloses in its 2026 proxy statement the nature of the proposal and how it intends to exercise its discretionary voting authority.
